To those that prefer a simplified selection process, Veritais is offering standardised bronze, silver and gold packages, each offering a different level of AV fit-out. However a full bespoke service will be available to owners that wish to have something tailor-made to their requirements.

Almost all manufacturers of production boats offer basic AV systems to their customers as part of the standard specification, but increasingly owners are looking to have onboard entertainment systems that meet the particular needs of themselves and their families. This trend has been driven by the fact that many sailors of all ages now carry large media databases on iPhones and MP3 players in their pockets as a matter of course, and have grown used to being able to plug them in wherever they find themselves. The increasing demand for remote connectivity to 3G and Wi-Fi networks on the move is another contributory factor.

As an independent consultant Veritais has long experience working with brands ranging from those familiar to shoppers in the high street to top international names such as Bose, B&O and Sonos. In addition, as an experienced electrical integrator it will also offer integrated systems that combine entertainment with added functionality such as internet access, lighting and air-conditioning control.

“We’re very pleased to be offering this service in partnership with Veritais,” said Ancasta Sales Director Ashley Overton. “We provide the highest level of service to all our customers to ensure that the boats they buy from us give them years of pleasure and enjoyment, and options such as this give the opportunity for each to make his or her boat truly unique.”
